“Open science (research) is the umbrella 
term of  the movement to make  
scientific research, data and 
dissemination accessible  
to all levels of  an inquiring society,  
amateur or professional.”   
"The currency of  researchers is 
really about making sure their 
work can be read  
and can be cited” 
Robert Kiley,   
Wellcome Trust 
”Researchers job is to  
change the world, not get tenure”

Quality Research Outputs: articles, books or 
other research outputs. 
Impact: in the form of case studies which 
demonstrate a distinctive social, economic  
or cultural impact outside academia. 
Research Environment: the quality of the 
environment within which the research is 
conducted. 
How are institutions evaluated?  
 
 
 
… and the rest ? 
 
 
 
Importance and ease of  access: industry & commerce 
Mean ratings (x axis), where 7=`extremely important’ and % of  users for
